So Many Thoughts....

I have so many thoughts running through my head. My positive thoughts keep pushing my negative thoughts out. Which is a very good thing for me. Usually, I have to fight them a little harder. Maybe it's because last weekend I experienced one of the saddest moments ever at the funeral I mentioned in my last post....I went away for the weekend.....without my family. It really put life in perspective for me. The little things that bothered me before I left have gone unnoticed. My big babies are now out of town this week doing chores at their grandparents ranch preparing for Thanksgiving. I miss them. A lot. My littlest has been sick all week.....I wish I could take it away. I will appreciate all of her talkative, energetic moments that much more when she is well. I have a strong sense of gratitude today. Perfect timing with Thanksgiving approaching. I have even been taking in my moments with my hubby, hugging a little longer, taking time to look in his eyes when he's talking to me. (He got a little freaked out this week because I was so into him;)) I have so many positives and negatives in my life and today I'm choosing to be thankful for them all. Being grateful is intentionally counting-your-blessings every day. Kim

Be aware of your blessings

Little moments like this come to life when you get sad news that some one's life is over. Yesterday I received a phone call that a special family member had a heart attack and died. He was living a beautiful life and it's so hard to understand. My heart aches. It really makes you realize how special every moment is. I'm so saddened, but I know God has a plan. I know that I have been more aware of the sweet blessings God has given me everyday. Hug Hard and Laugh Loud! Kim
